Wow! Thank you so much! I am SO frustrated trying to get the registration marks to be "seen." I will forever use this and NEVER bother with registration marks again!
Thank you sooooo…… much! It worked out perfectly. After two days of trying to calibrate my Cameo and frustrations galore, you my dear, sweet, amazing woman got me back to getting some print and cuts. Sending you big happy hugs with a bless you and many thanks. ❤😊❤
My Cameo 3 hasn't been good to me... Always almost 100% registration mark fail!!!! Thank goodness there is a way to bypass that registration mark detection step and go straight to cutting following your turotial. Thank you for saving me!!!!!
THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! I have a Cricut but I bought a Silhouette Cameo 4 specifically to print and cut larger images and you were the first person to show exactly how to set everything up without the registration marks messing with my design!!
THANKS so much for your tutorial❤!!! I spent hours trying to get my machine to cut! It's a brand new Cameo 5 Plus. I did the tape thing, and it used all the tape. So my registration is really off. I'm not sure what to do to get the machine correct, but then I hit the "Hide registration marks" button, 🎉and I am cutting!
@@KarenLeanneCreates2024 you need to calibrate your machine. On the older models, you unplug the machine, then manually move the carriage all the way to the right and back to the left 3 times. I'm not sure how it's done on the 5, though. There's probably a tutorial on TH-cam, though!
Oh this was SO MUCH EASIER to set up a non silhouette mat that I have watch, thanks so much, I would love to see how you do Rhinestones with the transfer paper mask
I got the lines set up as you instructed but my Cameo 3 INSISTS that it have registration marks to cut the tape. Am I missing something or is it the machine? The only time I was able to cut without those darn registration marks was with layered SVG files. Love your video though!
I showed the names of both in the video, but I'm assuming you want the one from Heat Transfer Warehouse. It's KTM Mask. The one from Amazon is Frisco Craft.
Hello, this is a great video - you figured a really smart way to work around the no registration mark print and cut :) It was great for me , because I am currently looking to start print and cut and I am still looking at tutorials in order to see if I really need the optical eye on the more expensive cutters (because I am currently looking at the cameo 4 pro) and you showed me that it is not a must which I am thankful for. By the way your solvent inks caught my eye - is the Epson WF 7710 working good with those solvent inks? You have no problem with printhead clogs and printer is working fine without any additional than normal maintenance? Really appreciate the time answering my eco solvent questions and again greetings for the video. Have a lovely day!:)
Yes, the printer works great and I don't have to do any additional maintenance. I'm especially pleased because I only paid $50 for it on FB Marketplace.
Wow it worked like magic! It’s still a little off but I know I can make this work. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this. Thank you so much you’re literally a genius 😍 A heads up though, I did this on my brand new cameo mat and when I pull the tape off it did pull the sticky layer off too, pretty obvious but I was rushing 😂
I've heard that there are some bad mats floating around. The sticky would just wash off when you tried to clean it, even without any scrubbing. All of my mats are several years old, so I don't have any experience with that, but the painter's tape should definitely not pull the sticky off.
It's clever to set up the mat's actual cut area by having the machine cut the perimeter tape. When the mat is ejected to clean up the tape, how much position-shift do you get from reloading the mat? Is it pretty accurate? I can see left/right being ok as long as you carefully align with the left mark, but the vertical offset seems like it could vary a bit, depending on how the rollers grab the mat.
I tried this method and it works alot better for me may not be prefect every time but I am now wasting a lot less projects b4 trying her method bx like you say it's how the machine grabs the mat. I also now create a bleed for my cuts
How did u keep it from cutting out the glasses mouth ? I'm using a printable vinyl trying 2 print & cut a girl with bows I her hair & my kids name & it keeps showing the lines for the girls bows, eyes, lips & I only want 2 cut around the girl. Also it doesn't show any cut lines 4 the insides of the name letters. Like where it should cut out the circle part of the inside of the letters like a, d, e. Do u have any idea of how I can fix this? Thank u and your designs are beautiful. Such vibrant colors
I just noticed the part about the name. You probably need to trace the image, giving you cut lines for everything. On the cut screen click on the cut lines that you don't want and choose "No Cut".
Hello. This is the same ink I've purchased. Can you tell me what your print preferences are set at? My colors aren't as vibrant as yours appear. I also print from Silhouette
I still use the bleed because none of these machines are 100% exact. Another trick that works better than bleed sometimes is to use a small offset and make it black, or whatever color your image is. Frisco Craft HTV Mask - smile.amazon.com/dp/B07Z4LP271
@@craftymenagerie6191 Thanks for responding and thanks for the tip! Do you have the link for the not so sticky transfer mask too? In the video you said the Frisco brand was "too" sticky right?
@@teresawesley4553 it's called Hotfix Transfer Tape on Amazon. The brand that I got was sold out but there are others available. The KTM Mask from Heat Transfer Warehouse is cheaper (same stuff). www.heattransferwarehouse.com/ktm-digital-mask/
my biggest issue is that my cameo never cuts in the same area in the mat and in the screen. Let's say I have it start the cut in the square 1x1, teh maxhine goes and make it in the 0.5x1, or 1.5x1.5, or something else... It's always different...

Totally late reply but I would. I just tried without the tape on the actual silhouette mat and my cut lines are a couple mm off but for stickers that made a big difference.
Make sure that your machine is calibrated. Disconnect and turn it off. Move the carriage all the way to the right and all the way back to the left 3 times.
Wow! Thank you so much! I am SO frustrated trying to get the registration marks to be "seen." I will forever use this and NEVER bother with registration marks again!
This helped me so much!! My printer keeps cutting off the bottom part of my registration mark. This is a life saver!
Its a game changer you just did a 4 part step in one

You have to make sure you turn OFF registration marks. Otherwise, it will look for registration marks.
Thank you for replying, I will definitely do that tomorrow (have to rest my brain, lol).
@@craftymenagerie6191 I got it to work, thanks so much!
My face when I watched this magic happen 😱
Did the paper just take on the white color??
The "paper" is white.
thank you so much, imma try this, i think this will solve my problem since i'm using 3rd party mats.
Excellent video!! I’m definitely gonna try this!! Thanks for sharing! ❤️

First time see your videos. Thank you very easy to follow and helpful.
That's awesome!!! Thank you so much for sharing!☺
This is great information! Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Do you still need the tape even with a Silhouette Mat?
The tape is for accuracy. Although you shouldn't need it on Silhouette mats, I use it on all of my mats.

I can see left/right being ok as long as you carefully align with the left mark, but the vertical offset seems like it could vary a bit, depending on how the rollers grab the mat.
The only time my cuts have been off is when I've moved or bumped the Cameo and it needed to be recalibrated.
I tried this method and it works alot better for me may not be prefect every time but I am now wasting a lot less projects b4 trying her method bx like you say it's how the machine grabs the mat. I also now create a bleed for my cuts
This is wonderful. I can't wait to try it. Will come back and edit this comment with my results. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING!
You never came back 😭

Choose "Cut Edge" instead of "Cut".

@@craftymenagerie6191 ok thank u. My image is a svg. Does that matter
@@sayitwithatshirt no. When you trace it, you're creating your own cut lines.

Genius idea! I have a Silhouette Curio machine. Is it necessary to do this, since my mat is designed for the machine?
No, but it can help guarantee precise placement every time.
cool.
Thanks for sharing. Did you still need to use the print bleed to avoid the white edges?
Do you have the link for transfer mask from amazon?
I still use the bleed because none of these machines are 100% exact. Another trick that works better than bleed sometimes is to use a small offset and make it black, or whatever color your image is.

Great video but the stroke on design is way off after you cut it
Very clever. I wasteSO much sticker paper.
Except if you set it to 0 for X and 0 for Y access, that places the cut line outside my cutting area, so it doesn't cut.
@@peachpiano the very 1st step is to turn on cut to edge in the settings. Well, second step. Tape the edges is the 1st step.
Also can u so sublimation with the ink u use or only prints
Eco-solvent ink is not sublimation ink. I have a different printer for sublimation (ET 15000).
Have you had a smooth experience purchasing & using inks from that vendor? There are a lot of negative reviews about them. Interested in ecosolvent inks for a WF 7720 as well.
Yes. My ink came faster than expected and packaged perfectly. The issues seem to be more recent than my dealings with the company.

Do you have to do the tape with a original Cameo silhouette matte?
You don't "have" to do it at all. I do it with all of my mats, even Silhouette mats. It ensures that my placement is perfect, every time.

Thank you for this! Do you know if this method works with the Portrait? Thanks again! 🙏
Yes.

Darn, I tried doing this, not as a transfer but just a print and cut. But it cut off. Have any suggestions why it didn’t work? I have the cameo 4
Make sure that your machine is calibrated. Disconnect and turn it off. Move the carriage all the way to the right and all the way back to the left 3 times.
Thank you
Awesome
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. I just bought a new cutting mat (not silhouette) and the borders are way off.
Some (most) of my mats are Cricut, including the one in this video. This technique fixes that issue.
